Chapter 497 Pesticides
According to Shui Miaomiao, there will be another locust plague soon.
When Gu Xi was watching TV series in the past, he saw that in order to deal with the locust plague, the time traveler encouraged everyone to eat locusts. They fried, stir-fried, and deep-fried the locusts and made them into various delicacies.
But Gu Xi didn't dare.
She gets goose bumps when she sees bugs, so why ask her to eat them? It will make her sick to death.
Gu Xi looked for the system again:
"System, the products in your points mall are not complete. Find a way to get some pesticides to treat locusts. I want green and environmentally friendly ones."
System: "Okay!"
It's just pesticide, it's not difficult to get it.
At night, the system puts the pesticides on the shelves.
Gu Xi took a look and saw that it was an organophosphorus pesticide, safe and low in toxicity. One bottle could be used to spray ten acres of land. The price was 1 point.
Pesticide sprayer, price: 1 point.
Gu Xi looked at the balance, which was only a pitiful two hundred points.
Gu Xi asked Shuiyoucheng:
"Dad, how many fields are there in our village?"
Shui Youcheng roughly calculated and said:
"It should be about 700 to 800 acres."
Well, the points are enough to buy pesticides, and there is even some left over.
In order to avoid having to deal with two different people for one thing, Gu Xi planned to ask the "Mountain God" to step in again.
The next day, the villagers were working in the fields.
Shuipingfang, Xu, and Gu Xi were also weeding in the fields.
The field next to it belonged to the village chief. He was weeding while chatting with Shuipingfang.
"Fangfang, have you found any locusts in your fields? I've found several."
Horizontal said:
"I've noticed it too, Village Chief. Is there going to be a locust plague in our village?"
The village chief frowned:
"It's hard to say. Too much of this stuff is not a good thing. If there is a locust plague, our crops will be destroyed."
Xu said worriedly:
"It's a bit scary. I've spotted quite a few. The last time there was a locust plague was when I was a kid. That year all the crops were eaten up and many people starved to death."
Other villagers also discussed the matter with concern.
Suddenly, a strange sound was heard.
"Attention, villagers of Chenshui Village. This mountain god has learned that a locust plague is coming. In order to save the crops, this mountain god has specially bestowed a magical medicine that can kill the locusts. Please go to the grassland at the entrance of the village to collect it!"
"Attention, villagers of Chenshui Village. This mountain god has learned that a locust plague is coming. In order to save the crops, this mountain god has specially bestowed a magical medicine that can kill the locusts. Please go to the grassland at the entrance of the village to collect it!"

Important things should be said three times, and Gu Xi turned off the switch of the loudspeaker.
That's right, she sneaked out of the house last night and ran to a deserted place on the hillside. She spent ten points to exchange for a remote-controlled loudspeaker and recorded the above words in a hoarse voice.
He spent another ten points to exchange for ten sprayers, and the remaining 180 points were all exchanged for pesticides, which he hid in the deep grass at the entrance of the village.
There was no other way. If she always let Shuiping take the blame, she was worried that something would happen.
This was heard by the whole village, so it would not arouse suspicion.
The villagers were all shocked when they heard such a loud noise.
How could anyone shout so loudly?
The village chief's wrinkled face was also shaken with shock. He looked towards the horizon:
"Fang Fang, is this really the manifestation of the mountain god?"
Shuipingfang was also stunned. He had never heard the voice of the mountain god!
"Village chief, let's go and take a look." Shuipingfang said.
The villagers were all skeptical, but they still ran towards the grassy area at the entrance of the village.
When they arrived, they saw many things they had never seen before in the grass.
There were many transparent bottles neatly arranged on the ground. I didn't know what they were made of, but they were filled with brown liquid.
There is also an empty transparent box with straps on it, like a backpack.
Shui Pingfang picked up a piece of paper skillfully and said to the village chief excitedly:
"Village chief, it's the mountain god! When I found the water pipe, there was a piece of paper like this with a diagram on it. I followed the diagram and brought water to the village!"
The village chief took the instruction manual, which was clearly illustrated and also listed the proportions of the potion.
“Is this really an elixir?”
"Village Chief, is there really going to be a locust plague?"
"How about we try this medicine?"
"Yes, I also think that the locusts are increasing in number. Since this is the elixir bestowed by the mountain god, it will definitely be able to kill the locusts."
"Never mind, let's try it first!"
The village chief finally made the decision: "Try it!"
There are ten sprayers in total, and villagers can only use them in turns. The village chief distributes them according to the fields.
According to the instructions, the villagers prepared the medicine, put on sprayers, and sprayed the crops in the fields.
Soon, a miracle happened. The locusts died immediately after coming into contact with the pesticides.
Seeing this, the villagers cheered.
“The mountain god has appeared!”
“Thank you, mountain god, for saving our crops!”
Gu Xi also received a system reward:
[Solve the locust plague and protect the crops in Chenshui Village. Reward: 100 points.]
[Current points: 100.]
[System awakening progress increased by 10%, current progress: 50%. ]
Within two days, the people of Chenshui Village heard that a large number of locusts had really come to the neighboring village to eat the crops, and they could not be caught.
And the locusts continue to increase in number.
When Village Chief Song heard that there were no locusts in Chenshui Village, he rushed over to see.
Sure enough, the crops in Chenshui Village are all fine.
"Village Chief Chen, how did you do it?" Village Chief Song asked anxiously.
Village chief Chen did not hide anything and told the story of the mountain god bestowing the elixir.
Village Chief Song’s eyes almost popped out of his head.
What is the Feng Shui of Chenshui Village?
Obviously, we all live by the mountain, so why does the mountain god only favor Chenshui Village?
"Village Chief Chen, do you have any extra elixirs in your village? Can you sell some to our village?"
Village chief Chen frowned. There were indeed a hundred bottles left, but he couldn't make the decision on his own, so he called everyone in the village to discuss it.
Some people think they can be sold since they have extra ones.
Some people also think that they cannot be sold. What if there are locusts again in the future?
Gu Xi said:
"I think it's worth selling. The mountain god favors Chenshui Village because the people there are kind. If we help others, the mountain god will definitely favor Chenshui Village even more."
Everyone thought it made sense, and in the end they sold ninety bottles of medicine to Village Chief Song.
As for the sprayer, since it can be used repeatedly, they rented it to Village Chief Chen and sent someone to their village to provide some guidance.
The village chief gave each household one or two taels of silver from selling medicine.
And Gu Xi received a system reward again.
[Help Songzhuang Village solve the locust plague, reward: 100 points. ]
[Current points: 100.]
This time, only points were rewarded, and Shui Miaomiao's system awakening progress did not increase. Perhaps the reward can only be obtained once for the same event?
Gu Xi thought about it and realized that the locust plague must cover a very large area, so she decided to continue exchanging pesticides, trying to save as many villages as possible.
